The card - Emily was kind enough to let us copy some of her class cards at our last get-together. This was one of my favorites. Large butterfly is a diecut, small butterfly is stamped and cut out. This flourish stamp is actually from Papertrey (Emily's used a SU one of course)
OK, enough with the snow already! And we're supposed to get more this afternoon & tonight. Yuk! I need to go to the grocery store so I may have to sneak that in this morning before it starts snowing again.
Happy stampin'

The card - lots of white! I'm trying to get thank you cards done so I'm using a lot of snowmen/snowflakes. Couldn't resist this white on white. The snowman is from a very old SU set (Festive Four) There is a bit on color (baja) on the snowman's scarf and hat.
I really need to get some of my mess cleaned up today. I've flitted from one thing to another the past two days and somehow made a mess in every room in the house. So, I'm going to try and get some things straightened up this morning and maybe work on some class projects this afternoon.
Have a fabulous day!

The card - not much stamping, just some pretty paper & ribbon. Colors are baja and bayou.
Have a lot to get done this week and I'm not sure where to start. Still have to do thank you cards, get started on class projects and finish cleaning up the Christmas decorations. I did finish my calendar project yesterday, so now that's ready to mail. I'm sure I will find something to keep me busy today.
Have a great day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a layout we did in class and I just had to add the pictures. I do need to add some journaling to that journaling piece in the left-hand corner though.
I'm going to spend the day in my stamp room and try to get thank you cards done! I also need to finish up a gift for my cousins in California (Hi Marleen!) Yep, I'm a little late with that one, but hopefully I can get it finished and in the mail this week.
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

Photo Saturday - lights, lights and more lights! This is one of the sights we saw while driving around looking at Christmas lights on Christmas Eve.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly did. Made a haul with gifts (oh, yes, that's really not the important part is it? But it's fun!) But I thoroughly enjoyed the celebrations with family and friends. We did miss Tracy though.
Now, today I suppose it's time to get the mess cleaned up and think about taking the decorations down. I might be able to talk myself into at least getting started on that! We'll see.............
Have a great weekend!

The card - stamp is from Wandering Words (SU) Printed paper is from Bo-Bunny. Colors are Ruby Red and chocolate.
I think I'm ready - well, I still have to wrap the presents and make a quick trip to the bakery. But, that's it. Dinner out with Jeff & Sara tonight, followed by driving around to look at Christmas lights - it will be fun, we haven't done that in several years.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve.

More snow? Yikes - I was just begnning to see a few patches of bare ground in my yard. Hopefully the roads won't be too bad because I have to go to the grocery store today and I also need to finish up my Christmas shopping.
Happy stampin'

I'm taking a play day today! I know, I still have shopping to do, presents to wrap, etc., but........what the heck - it's Christmas. So, Judy S and I are planning a Christmas play day. Who knows where the day will take us - maybe something wild and crazy.
Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - we've been having a lot of fog in the mornings - I took this picture on Thursday - at 9 in the morning the sun was still trying to get through the fog.
Lots of odds and ends to get done today - plus I think it's time to do some laundry! Looking forward to our annual Christmas get-together at Sherry's tonight.
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

The card - very, very simple. Stamp is from SU - holly is a punch and I just added some brads.
The card class event went very well last night - thanks ladies for a great time! But, today I'm tired! I think I will just stay home and try to get some work done on Christmas gifts. And maybe take a nap!
Enjoy your day!

The card - stamp is Dasher (SU) Colors are not quite navy, sahara sand and white.
Added note: the embossed strip in the middle is a seperate piece - embossed with the cuttlebug embossing folder - the white piece is added to the bottom of the strip, ribbon is tied around the top of the strip and then the whole strip is glued to the card.
Didn't get quite as much done yesterday as I had planned, so I have a lot of stuff to do to get ready for my card class event tonight. So I'm off to set up tables, make food, etc.
Have a great day!

Back to work on Christmas projects today. I'm working on a project using the new digital software from SU - it's been fun, but I'm not used to sitting at the computer for hours. I did get my Christmas cards finished and they are ready to be mailed - woo hoo!
Happy stampin'
